Agiatis Benardou was born in Athens, Greece. She completed her BA and MA in Ancient History at King’s College London, where she was later awarded her PhD in Archaeology. She also holds an MA on Cultural Management and Communication from Panteion University in Athens.
Her research interests lie in the fields of scholarly research practices and user requirements and she is particularly interested in the ways in which digital tools and methods can provide new gateways through which research communities gain access to, create, revisit and repurpose research data, processes and infrastructures.
